Chapel Hill High School teachers Jack Watson and Holly Loranger have been selected to take part in the Art21 Educators Program for 2011-12. The program is an intensive, yearlong professional-development and learning community designed to bring contemporary art, artists and themes into the classroom.
Watson and Loranger, one of eight pairs of teachers chosen from a nationwide pool for the program, will travel to New York City for a week this summer to work with educators, artists and arts professionals to develop curricula based on contemporary art. In the fall, they will implement the criteria and document and share their results.
